She\u2019s also a national treasure who counts rapper and marijuana enthusiast <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/entertainment\/martha-stewart-snoop-dogg-dating\/\">Snoop Dogg<\/a> among her closest friends (more on that later).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebritynetworth.com\/richest-businessmen\/ceos\/martha-stewart-net-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\"> Celebrity Net Wort<\/a>h reports that the 80-year-old has a net worth of $400 million.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Martha may be known for her delicious dishes, potent cocktails, and creative crafting projects, but back when she started her career, she was a model and then she became a stockbroker. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/martha-stewart-will-never-stop-reinventing-herself-bio-2018-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Insider<\/a>, Martha worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street in her mid-20s. It wasn\u2019t until she and her husband bought a rambling property in Westport, Connecticut that Martha started developing her recipes which turned into a catering company which led to a book deal\u2026 and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>Martha has a new competition show with Tamera Mowrey-Housey called \u201cTable Wars\u201d debuting on <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/entertainment\/hgtv\/\">HGTV<\/a> on November 12, 2021. The seven-episode series will have competitors face off in a competition to&nbsp;\u201cdesign and install the ultimate themed dining environment that features stunning tablescapes, centerpieces, lighting and displays to wow the judges and avoid elimination,\u201d according to the show\u2019s press release from HGTV\u2019s parent company <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.discovery.com\/discovery-newsroom\/extreme-tabletop-and-special-event-design-competition-series-table-wars-premieres-on-hgtv-and-discovery-on-friday-november-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Discovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Is there anything Martha Stewart can\u2019t do?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>1. Martha Stewart Has a Property Empire Worth at Least $100 Million<\/h2>\n<p>Martha Stewart owns a number of properties in New York and Connecticut. The one most associated with her is the Turkey Hill estate in Westport, Connecticut that she lived in from 1971 to 2007, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/269409\/turkey-hill-marthas-first-house?slide=b3588561-8337-4748-91ad-cb0ea33594df#b3588561-8337-4748-91ad-cb0ea33594df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">MarthaStewart.com<\/a> revealed. She and her ex-husband Andrew bought the property and she retained it in their divorce. Martha and Andrew bought it for $46,750, she revealed in a blog post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/268462\/remembering-turkey-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">MarthaStewart.com.<\/a>&nbsp;Adjusted for inflation, that is equal to $316,641 today. Over the years, Martha and her husband expanded the property by buying adjacent lots. Martha sold the Turkey Hill property in 2007 for $6.7 million, according to the Wall Street Journal (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergproperties.com\/blog\/martha-stewart-sells-turkey-hill-estate-in-westport-ct-for-67m\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Berg Properties<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Martha wrote about Turkey Hill on her website, saying, \u201cTurkey Hill was a dream place for my family and me for many years. It taught us, it nurtured us, it fed us, and it occupied us in so many wonderful and instructive ways. I would not be who I am today without the vast knowledge I gained there, on that small bit of paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martha\u2019s main residence is located in Bedford, New York. She bought the 153-acre estate in 2000 for $15.2 million. It is a working farm that was built in 1784. Martha keeps horses, chickens and other animals on her land. The property has several structures including the main, \u201cWinter House\u201d that Martha lives in and two guest houses, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideopencountry.com\/where-does-martha-stewart-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Wide Open Country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2021, Martha sold her long-time home at 58 Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton, New York for $16.5 million, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dirt.com\/gallery\/moguls\/power-players\/martha-stewart-house-hamptons-1203426500\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Dirt<\/a> reported. That was double what she was asking for it. She purchased it in 1991 for $1.7 million, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-detail\/58-Lily-Pond-Ln_East-Hampton_NY_11937_M31570-63264\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Realtor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Martha also owns a 67-acre estate called Skylands in Seal Harbor, Maine that she bought in 1997, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/martha-stewart-skylands-maine-homes-article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Architectural Digest<\/a>. The estate was built in 1952 for Edsel Ford of the automotive family. She added onto the property in 2015 by buying the 7-acre lot next door for $5.8 million, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdislander.com\/maine-news\/martha-stewart-expands-her-seal-harbor-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">MDIslander.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Martha also owned a penthouse on Perry Street in Manhattan\u2019s West Village. She sold the Richard Meier-designed unit for $6.65 million in 2004, just before she went to jail, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2004\/07\/15\/divas-fire-sale-martha-unloads-apt-in-a-hurry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>2. Martha Stewart Has a Television and Publishing Empire<\/h2>\n<p>When Martha and her then-husband Andrew bought the Turkey Hill property in Westport, Connecticut in 1971, Martha\u2019s focus changed. She started restoring the property and cooking elaborate meals. That turned into her own catering company that catered events with up to 1,500 people. Within 10 years, Martha\u2019s catering company was a $1 million business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/197700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Entrepreneur<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in 1980, she was attending an event her company catered when the president of a publishing company approached her with the idea to write a book. That led to the massive bestseller, \u201cEntertaining,\u201d which sold more than 625,000 copies. More books followed, including \u201cMartha Stewart\u2019s Quick Cook Menus,\u201d \u201cMartha Stewart\u2019s Chrismas,\u201d \u201cMartha Stewart Weddings,\u201d and so on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-pos-10\">In 1991, she launched her magazine \u201cMartha Stewart Living.\u201d By 1997, the magazine had a circulation of 2.3 million, according to Entrepreneur.&nbsp;Martha also began appearing on television shows in the 1990s which led to her shows, \u201cMartha Stewart Living,\u201d \u201cEveryday Food,\u201d \u201cMartha,\u201d and more, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0829644\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2#self\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">IMDb.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 1999, Martha took her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia public. On the opening day of trading, stocks surged to $38 making Martha not only a billionaire, but the very first self-made female billionaire in the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2005\/10\/31\/news\/newsmakers\/stewart_fortune_111405\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">CNN Money<\/a> revealed. She later lost that billionaire status when share prices declined.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>3. Martha Stewart Went to Jail for Insider Trading<\/h2>\n<p>On June 4, 2003, the world was shocked when Martha Stewart, who basically conveyed goodness and love and family through her lifestyle empire, was charged with insider trading by the Security and Exchange Commission. She received a tip from her stockbroker about an FDA ruling that was not going to be in favor of a pharmaceutical stock she owned and sold that stock before it declined.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/news\/press\/2003-69.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">SEC\u2019s press release<\/a> said, The SEC \u201c\u2026today filed securities fraud charges against Martha Stewart and her former stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic. The complaint\u2026alleges that Stewart committed illegal insider trading when she sold stock in a biopharmaceutical company, ImClone Systems, Inc., on Dec. 27, 2001, after receiving an unlawful tip from Bacanovic\u2026 The Commission further alleges that Stewart and Bacanovic subsequently created an alibi for Stewart\u2019s ImClone sales and concealed important facts during SEC and criminal investigations into her trades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martha was indicted by the U.S. government on nine counts including securities fraud and obstruction of justice. She stepped down as the CEO of her company. Her six-week trial began in January 2004 and she was found guilty on all counts, including felony charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to federal investigators. Martha was sentenced to five months in federal prison and two years of supervised release, the first five months of which had Martha wearing an ankle bracelet to monitor her movements, <a href=\"https:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2004\/03\/05\/news\/companies\/martha_verdict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">CNN Money<\/a> reported. She also paid a $30,000 fine.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>4.

This bizarre combination of personalities turned out to be truly amazing. Pairing the straight-laced lifestyle guru with the rapper and marijuana enthusiast was unexpected and truly delightful. They had a chemistry on the show that was surprising. But, it turns out, the pairing wasn\u2019t all that unexpected after all. The two had met years earlier. In 2008, Snoop appeared on Marth\u2019s eponymously named show to help her make mashed potatoes. Their chemistry was instantaneous.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"> <button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play<\/span><br \/><\/button><br \/><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video related to martha stewart\u2019s net worth: 5 fast facts you need to know<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2021-10-22T18:50:24-04:00<\/span><\/div>\n<p>Martha wrote a blog post about her experience with Snoop Dogg (via People), \u201cHe and his posse add \u2018izzles\u2019 onto the ends of words.\u201d It\u2019s kind of a code, or a way of communicating so that others won\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. Example: fo\u2019 shizzle is how they say, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Snoop trolled&nbsp;Tekashi 6ix9ine after he snitched on his former gang by posting a photo to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2yLtZTn7yQ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=00f9222c-4eaa-49ff-837c-dd82ba989c30\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;that said, \u201cAs we watch Tekashi 69 (or whatever his name is) snitch on EVERYBODY, I invite you all to remember Martha Stewart snitched on NOT ONE soul during her trial,\u201d Snoop wrote. \u201cBaby girl kept it 10 toes down and ate that prison sentence by herself, like the true baddie she is.\u201d He captioned that photo, \u201cThat\u2019s my.

Martha Stewart Has Her Own Line of CBD Edibles<\/h2>\n<p>Snoop Dogg has rubbed off on Martha Stewart in what shouldn\u2019t be an unexpected way, but, let\u2019s face it, you just don\u2019t expect an 80-year-old to get into cannabis products. Perhaps she experienced so many contact highs from hanging out with Snoop that she began to enjoy the effects of marijuana products.<\/p>\n<p>Martha Stewart\u2019s line of CBD gummies does not contain THC, so they aren\u2019t beholden to federal and state laws governing marijuana. The packaging says a dose is one per day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/martha-stewart-cbd-gummies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Self<\/a> reported. However, in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/09\/17\/style\/martha-stewart-at-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">The New York Times,<\/a> Martha admitted, \u201cI pop 20 of them and just feel OK, but some of my friends do two and feel high, I don\u2019t know why. It\u2019s not high like a marijuana high. It\u2019s a CBD high, like, relaxed.\u201d The interview went on to reveal that Martha ate four gummies during the hour-long interview.<\/p>\n<p>Martha also revealed it was a contact high from Snoop that got her into the palliative effects of CBD. During the Comedy Central \u201cRoast of Justin Bieber\u201d in 2015, she and Snoop sat next to each other for seven hours. She recalled,&nbsp;\u201cSnoop must have smoked 10 giant fat blunts, and I inhaled all that smoke. I felt really good.\u201d She added, \u201cI had to fly that night, my family was in Saint Barths for Christmas vacation. I don\u2019t remember going on the plane. I don\u2019t remember doing anything. I didn\u2019t remember my performance on the roast, but it was very successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\"> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Martha Stewart&nbsp;is a lifestyle guru, entrepreneur and television personality who has an empire that includes television shows, magazines, cookbooks, party planning books and home products, among others.
